Gingrich Disagrees with Ballots in Multiple Languages
Jennifer
As reported by the Sun-Sentinel, Newt Gingrich—in a speech to the National Federation of Republican Women—made some bold and intolerant claims regarding the multiple languages spoken in this country. Specifically in reference to voting ballots, he said the “government should quit mandating that various documents be printed in any one of 700 languages depending on who randomly shows up.” Considering how confusing our electoral process can be, even for those who are fluent in English as evidenced in our most recent film Election Day, this statement is really trivializing a major problem in our country. Rather than posing a solution, he is instead pointing the finger at the victims.
